( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 7 – 11 )

Wiedemannia ( Philolutra) klausnitzeri Joost, 1981: 188 View in CoL .

Diagnosis. This species differs by the completely dark brown scutum, acrostichals extending only to third dorsocentral seta, 5 pairs of dorsocentrals; lobes of clasping cercus orientated at right angles, L-shaped; digitiform lobe nearly directed vertically.

Distribution. Caucasus: Russia (Krasnodarskiy Territory).

Remarks. This species was described by Joost (1981), collected from the Sochi River ( Russia, Krasnodarskiy Territory), but in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera (1989) the species was mistakenly indicated from territory of Georgia [“Sotschi-Fluss, oberhalb des Ortes Plastunka (Georgian SSR)”]. Actually W. klausnitzeri is known only from type-locality: Krasnodarskiy Territory of Russia.

We were unsuccessful in collecting additional specimens of this species.
